1. What are the minimum add-ons and spare parts I should get ASAP? I already have a lens cover and QD adapter from GG&G on the way, and I found a compatible tape-switch on eBay. I know spare terminals/contacts and springs for the battery box are a good idea.
2. Are there any special tips and tricks not mentioned in the manual that I should know about?
3. Anything else not covered in the above two?
It will be just fine. It is a good optic. Only thing you may want to look at getting is a riser mount to get the optic to a lower 1/3. YHM, LaRue and I think that MidWest Industries makes them. You would want one the normal lower 1/3 risers and not one of the stupid super tall ones.
In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.
